Role
Who you are

What the job involves

- Causal Inference Analysis: Apply advanced causal inference techniques to uncover the underlying mechanisms and effects within our datasets, facilitating a deeper understanding of our data's drivers
- ML Modeling: Develop and refine MVP versions of ML models, focusing on rapid prototyping to test hypotheses and assess potential impact, with an eye towards scalability and integration into larger systems

Our take
Affirm offers point-of-sale loans to consumers, working with merchants like Shopify, KAYAK, and Walmart. Buy now, pay later transactions have grown in popularity in recent years, and this business is tapping into the market with a totally different approach to credit - by delivering the Affirm card, the first US debit card with the option to pay-over-time.
Boasting over 21M consumers and 337,000+ merchants, the company offers flexible payback options, ranging from 3 to 36 months. The interest rates run between 0% and 30%, so, while they are not necessarily the cheapest option, Affirm prides itself on having no fees for late payments, no hidden charges, and total transparency about what people will pay before they take out a loan.
Affirm collects payments from the customers and pays the merchants directly, shouldering the risk itself. The company has boosted its market share, expanding its availability beyond the US to include most of Canada, and continues to launch new features and create new partnerships towards bettering its offering.
